THE WORLD JUNIOR Motocross Championships were unheard of when I was a kid. It took twenty minutes to log onto the internet and everyone was on MSN Messneger talking to their top friends not travelling to the other side of the world to race a dirtbike. I grew up in the era before Chad Reed was famous so we never imagined leaving the country to race as kids. We weren't even sure they were racing bikes anywhere else.
It wasn't until I got older and started coaching junior riders that I even heard of the World Juniors. There started to be talk of kids with names I could never pronounce coming out of the World Juniors and starting to race MXGP, this is when I started to follow the World Juniors
